Academic Research & Development
Today the National Science Board published the report Academic Research and Development as part of the 2024 congressionally mandated Science and Engineering Indicators suite of products on the state of the U.S. science and engineering enterprise. The reports are prepared by the NSF’s National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics under the Board’s guidance. The report provides in-depth information on how universities are funded to support research and train future scientists and engineers.
 In addition to comparing the contributions of federal and business funding to academic research and development, the report also looks at the types of R&D performed at universities, where highly funded universities are located, how public institutions compare to private, how spending varies by discipline, and trends in the training of the future research workforce in academic institutions.
Academic Research and Development is the first of 10 Science and Engineering Indicators reports that the NSB will publish over the coming months through spring of 2024.

NATIONAL SCIENCE BOARD
The National Science Foundation Act of 1950 charged the National Science Board (NSB) with two roles: governing board of the NSF and advisor to Congress and the President on policy matters related to STEM research and STEM education. Selected for their distinguished service and accomplishments in academia, government, and the private sector, the Board’s 24 presidentially appointed members are leaders in STEM research and education.

NATIONAL CENTER FOR SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING STATISTICS
The National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NCSES), within the National Science Foundation, is the nation's leading provider of statistical data on the U.S. science and engineering enterprise. As a principal federal statistical agency, NCSES serves as a clearinghouse for the collection, interpretation, analysis, and dissemination of objective science and engineering data.
